“…Throughout various stages of the pandemic there have been critical supply shortages; as it pertains to STEMI care, shortages in heparin, iodinated contrast, anesthetic agents for moderate sedation (midazolam and fentanyl citrate) troponin assays, SARS-CoV2 rapid PCR testing, N95 respirators, and personal protective equipment are thought to be particularly impactful for cardiac catheterization and other bedside cardiac procedures [ 19 , 20 , 21 ]. Similarly, redirection of inpatient resources, catheterization lab unavailability, and ancillary staffing deficiencies are likely notable contributors [ 22 ]. A second explanation of decreased cardiac procedural utilization may be that referring clinicians and cardiologists felt that STEMI patients with COVID-19 were too critically ill and less likely to benefit from invasive cardiac interventions such as coronary angiography and PCI due to poorer prognosis from acute infection.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted healthcare delivery to patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The aim of our retrospective study was to determine the effect of COVID-19 on inpatient STEMI outcomes and to investigate changes in cardiac care delivery during 2020. We utilized the National Inpatient Sample database to examine inpatient mortality and cardiac procedures among STEMI patients with and without COVID-19. In our study, STEMI patients with COVID-19 had higher inpatient mortality (47.4% vs. 11.2%, aOR: 3.8, 95% CI: 3.2–4.6, p < 0.001), increased length of stay (9.0 days vs. 4.3 days, p < 0.001) and higher cost of hospitalization (USD 172,518 vs. USD 131,841, p = 0.004) when compared to STEMI patients without COVID-19. STEMI patients with COVID-19 also received significantly less invasive cardiac procedures (coronary angiograms: 30.4% vs. 50.8%, p < 0.001; PCI: 32.9% vs. 70.1%, p < 0.001; CABG: 0.9% vs. 4.1%, p < 0.001) and were more likely to receive systemic thrombolytic therapy (4.2% vs. 1.1%, p < 0.001) when compared to STEMI patients without COVID-19. Our findings are the result of complications of SARS-CoV2 infection as well as alterations in healthcare delivery due to the burden of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Introduction The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has created unprecedented challenges on the healthcare system. The aim of this multi-centre study was to measure the impact of COVID-19 on IR services in the UK. Material and Methods Retrospective cross-sectional study of IR practice in six UK centres during the COVID-19 pandemic was carried out. All therapeutic IR procedures were identified using the respective hospital radiology information systems and COVID-19 status found on the hospital patient record systems. The total number of therapeutic IR procedures was recorded over two time periods, 25/03/2019–21/04/2019 (control group) and 30/03/2020–26/04/2020 (COVID-19 group). The data points collected were: procedure type, aerosol-generating nature, acute or elective case, modality used, in- or out-of-hours case and whether the procedure was done at the bedside (portable). Results A 31% decrease in overall number of IR procedures was observed during COVID-19 compared to the control group (1363 cases vs 942 cases); however, the acute work decreased by only 0.5%. An increase in out-of-hours work by 10% was observed. COVID-19 was suspected or laboratory proved in 9.9% of cases (n = 93), and 15% of total cases (n = 141) were classed as aerosol-generating procedures. A 66% rise in cholecystostomy was noted during COVID-19. Image-guided ablation, IVC filters, aortic stent grafting and visceral vascular stenting had the greatest % decreases in practice during COVID-19, with 91.7%, 83.3%, 80.8% and 80.2% decreases, respectively. Conclusion During the global pandemic, IR has continued to provide emergency and elective treatment highlighting the adaptability of IR in supporting other specialties.

The World Health Organization (WHO) announced that the novel coronavirus pneumonia pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 was classified as a public health emergency of international concern on January 30, 2020 Egypt's health ministry had announced the first case in the country at Cairo International Airport involving a Chinese national on 14 February 2020. Case decisions in the cath labs should be individualized, taking into account the risk of 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) exposure versus the risk of delay in diagnosis or therapy. In patients with known or suspected COVID-19 and ischemic heart disease, the balance of staff exposure and patient benefit will need to be weighed carefully. Aim of the work: Analyzing and assessing the impact of COVID 19 pandemic on the: (1) volume, type of patients, and the different procedures performed. (2) The changes in management trends of cardiologists in the cath labs. Results: This study has surveyed 30 cath labs distributed all over Egypt during COVID-19 pandemic with 43.35% in urban area and 56.7% in rural areas. Only 63.3% of surveyed centers were well equipped to deal with COVID-19 active patients and full personal protective equipment was worn in only 6.7% of patients. A decrease in the volume of new acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients, ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients and primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was recorded in 80%, 83%, and 80% of the surveyed centers respectively. Regarding the delay in the invasive management for patients with ACS due to diagnostic testing, there was 100% delay in all surveyed centers with 70% of centers suffering from delay in primary PCI due to awaited testing. On the other hand, there was a decrease in the volume of patients receiving elective procedures in 83.3% of cath labs. Conclusion: The management trends in the current Egyptian survey were significantly impacted during COVID-19 pandemic. Primary PCI volume much reduced and takes longer time than should be.
